This entire thread shows that christians who do believe disagree with eachother about this; I was raised some form of protestant christian and in that form, I was told that any type of killing is only allowed by god and god alone, never by humans. That includes war, capital punishment, abortion and everything else. Of course (... this is religion so it's all nonsense anyway), this did not include the maker his other creation like animals; you can kill and torture those and go to heaven. But nah, nothing 'obviously'; that god commands atrocities obviously means you cannot do them on your own; you need to be commanded; the death penalty is not commanded by god, or, well, in some interpretations it might be.
